So, we're all thrilled about that. <br /><br />Yes, it is kind of interesting how we can become so attached to people who are - technically - not part of our physical worlds...Kate/High Altitude Gardeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06690999267357525527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-80619654209041412492010-01-31T09:59:39.469-07:002010-01-31T09:59:39.469-07:00Interesting about meeting fellow bloggers.

Possibly I did, too, to them.<br /><br />I find it fascinating that we can feel so close -- mentally, emotionally, spiritually -- to people we have never met in person. To me, it proves that our physical beings are the smallest, most limited part of our whole Selves. <br /><br />And how lovely to send flowers. If GJ is anything like me, a gift of flowers just instantly melts my heart. <br /><br />And as for the Chicago gig ..... ooh, I would love to go, but probably won't make one until it's on the West Coast (or Rockies?!) somewhere.<br /><br />Kate, I always LOVE the colors in your blog.

And you're right--we have made cherished friends across the blogging miles, but so often don't even know what they look like.

A month ago a good blogging friend became very ill and eventually passed away, and her daughter kept us updated on her condition. I would have loved to send flowers, but I didn't know her real name either!<br /><br /> Do go to Buffalo! I hope to be able to go, but I'm waiting to make sure all family commitments will work out first. I went to Spring Fling in Chicago last year and had such a great time! It's so much fun to meet people you've corresponded with for a year, but never met. What's amazing is that so many of them were just as I pictured them--their personalities came through so clearly in their blogs.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27385862.post-30369956494930914902010-01-29T08:42:11.309-07:002010-01-29T08:42:11.309-07:00Hi, Jan;

Yes, they can be rather loud at times, but yours are truly beautiful. I love the rose, is that a shrub rose? Your thoughts on our "blog names" versus real names are interesting - I think the same holds true for our avatars. I don't use a picture of me, just pictures of my gardens. Is that a bad thing?
